Seems like it doesn't override the browser's basic keyboard shortcuts, some of which are heavily used in a terminal (ctrl+w for instance). I'd probably give it a run in place of putty if it werent for this.
- jamesaguilar 14y agoI don't know if this is the case for this particular extension. However, for most Chrome extensions, they can only use those shortcuts if they are opened in a separate window. You can select this option by right clicking on the app in the new tab page. I know that Chrome Remote Desktop can only use Ctrl-W in a separate window, but it works fine once it is in a separate window.
- tonfa 14y agoRight click on the app, select "open as new window" (if it's run in a tab it can't use the chrome shortcuts, for security reasons).
- meaty 14y agoThat's because it's simply the wrong tool for the job. Stuff like this is a deal breaker either for the terminal or the browser model. Keep using PuTTY
- BitMastro 14y agoIt's just another tool.. If you're comfortable with PuTTY keep using it, nobody is stopping you. I believe having another option could be handy.
